These scam companies rely on accusation and bluff to scare folks into a settlement for what seems in most cases something thgey havent done, so this is in effect a extortion of the gullible public. The company who first pioneered this method in the UK is under investigation by the legal authorities and bailed out of this charade on paper, however they set up a new company under a diff name to continue the same game.
I,m sure complaints have been made against them once again, these extortionists never seem to know when the games up, but while there is easy meat in the form of consumer ignorance I dont suppose they are in a rush to find honest work.
